Run Your Own Home Security Cameras

I bought a Fujikam from Amazon. $100. It was laggy, noisy, and very difficult to download video logs. No email alerts. Push alerts to the app only worked when the app was open.
I could go on about the features, but I think the security about the thing was worse…

All communications were clear text to some server in China owned by “Shenzhen Mining”. Awesome.
Not only that, but the thing was full of hardcoded backdoors. Meaning default admin passwords that cannot be changed.
And this thing was internet accessible! It’s currently the best selling IP camera on Amazon.
